In 1771 William Terry sold to his son, William Jr. 100 acres from the north side of his grant of 400 acres. [presumably - September 10, 1755. William Terry, 400 acres on branch of Roanoke called Black Run] Terry Jr. added 54 acres from Lemuel Andrews which was part of a grant to Jasper Terry in 1747 and obtained a new grant for 235 acres between Terry Sr and George Hannah. t\The remainder of the grant to William Sr was acquired by John Persinger in 1804 when releases were made by Jasper & Ruth Terry of Montgomery Co, John Terry, and the heirs of Thomas Brown and his wife who was Susanna Terry. In 1801 Persinger had purchased the land of John Johnson west of George Hanna.
